    I’d say ugliest of all time went to another car that was featured on Breaking Bad: the PT Cruiser, appropriately used as a car gift that causes insult rather than happiness.

    Though I’d bet the actual backstory to WW’s Aztek is Pontiac paid them a bunch of money to use it in the hopes that it would boost sales if the show became popular.

        The Prowler didn’t look quite as lame but got extra lame points for following the trend set by the PT Cruiser.

        Apparently the turning radius of the PT Cruiser was comparable to some large ships.

        She get it real cheap used? They had a decent reputation because the new ones were mostly owned by old boomers that didn’t push them very hard, so they were reliable (relative to the rest of the used car market), though that didn’t help the way they looked or performed.
